YOUR SAFARI IN THE SABI SANDS PRIVATE GAME RESERVE IN SOUTH AFRICA
About Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve
The Sabi Sands is South Africa's premier private game viewing destination. It was here that the southern African safari
began and today this famous reserve offers exceptional game viewing and equally exceptional accommodations. Two
perennial rivers, the Sabi and the Sand flow through this Game Park, sustaining the diverse fauna and flora of the area.
The success of leopard viewing within the Sabi Sands is legendary. Elephants, lion, rhino, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe,
zebra and a vast variety of antelope and other species can be closely observed in their natural environment.

Option: Singita Ebony
The new Singita Ebony Lodge, located on the Sand River in the Singita Sabi Sand reserve offers a contemporary take
on the classic safari lodge, combining tented camp and bush lodge style. The lodge comprises 12 suites, each with its
own private plunge pool. Inspired by the romance and adventure of tented camps and explorers’ abodes, the external
walls have been almost completely removed and replaced by canvas and glass to create safari tent-style suites to
maximise views, and to allow guests to be immersed in nature. Outdoor pavilion decks – ideal for dining and relaxing –
are suspended off the river banks as if hanging in the trees.

YOUR PERSONAL SAFARI SPECIALIST
Nicky Mears
Over the years I’ve worked in both travel and sales. Combining the two at Art of Safari has created the ultimate happy
space for me, and I feel so fortunate that my job is also my passion. My only resistance to wild places is that I’m wary
of creepy-crawlies, but luxury lodges generally have lovely mosquito nets, and bug spray.
WHY I THINK YOU'LL LOVE
AFRICA
HOW I HELP CREATE YOUR
DREAM SAFARI
MY TOP SAFARI TRAVEL TIPS
There’s no place like Africa. Once it
gets into your pores, it stays with
you. The vast open spaces – filled
with wild sights, sounds and smells –
remind us how much we’ve strayed
from nature. This paired with the
local culture and joie de vivre makes
being in Africa a deeply connecting
experience, unlike any other. It’s
also humbling to witness wild
animals in close proximity, in their
natural habitat.
I help you transform the rough
sketch of your dream safari into a
nuanced artwork, matching your
fantasies with the very real luxury
experiences Africa has to offer.
Through attentive conversations,
meticulous planning and negotiated
bookings, I’ll create and gift wrap the
perfect luxury safari for you – one
you’ll never forget!
Pack an extra pair of reading
glasses or specs, you’ll want to see
everything clearly at all times! And
find out what socket type your
destination has, and invest in an
adapter that will work for your
electronics (although many lodges
provide charging stations, it’s handy
to have your own). Finally, a
swimming costume is a must – most
lodges have stunning pools where
you can relax and cool off.

FAMILIES AND CHILDREN A safari with children is an amazing experience, and we have provided some indication of the options and
pricing for families with children, but there is a huge variation in child rates, options, and restrictions at game
lodges. We therefore suggest that we consult for family bookings on a case by case basis to find the best
solution based on family size, and ages of children.

whereafter Art of Safari will provide you with an e-ticket number as part of your itinerary. Airlines require the full names
of passengers as stated on their passports and will not accept changes once tickets have been issued. It is your
responsibility to provide the correct names and passport details and Art of Safari accepts no responsibility for incorrect
details provided by you. Any changes, cancellations or refunds will be subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant
airline and Art of Safari will not be liable for any costs arising from any changes or cancellations.
